This is a “STUPID” tattoo

…But will he regret it? By Derick Allen at Skin Deep Tattoos at Winter Haven, FL.

Sorry, I do not have an answer right now to your “why” questions.

EDIT: I just got the following note to share:

He had been thinking of this tattoo for two years and finally did it… Derrick Allen at Skin Deep Tattoos here in Winterhaven, FL said — and I quote — “if you’re stupid enough to do that, I will do it for free”, and then it was all done. There were thirteen people in the booth with camera phones, digital cameras… it was crazy! People were calling friends saying “dude, you won’t believe this…” It was the best… he has more crazy facial and head tattoos coming including “something” down the side of his nose and a bullet hole on the back of his head. Everywhere we go people try washing it off, and take pictures with their phones to send to friends! It’s great!

Anyway, I posted loads of stuff today here so don’t be mad if I take tomorrow off (from ModBlog). That said, I’m working on adding some guest bloggers here, so maybe there’ll be posts other than my bursts of rambling and random pictures soon.

    I like it, personally. Also, I find it funny that I’m going to be the 130′th comment about this one guy’s one tattoo. I think that’s the point of the tattoo, to make people talk and stare. He may not be the kind of person who’s desperate for attention, but really, a lot of people (like most of the people who visit this site) get tattoos and piercings to stand out.

    Just my opinion.

    But I think it makes sense.
